Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County, Florida board members and builder met at the law offices of Kristy Branch Banks in Eastpoint July 7 to close the loan on their new home with Kenny Griswold and Becky Bergstrom. Kristy, also a board member, volunteers her time to help Affordable Housing in the county.

Just over 6 months of building has produced a showplace home at 519 SE Ave A, Carrabelle, on the corner of 5th Street. The new owners and son Jarrad have taken care to water the newly-sodded lawn during this dry period, and soon a streetside parking area will be complete.
Habitat for Humanity provides no-interest loans and favorable mortgage payments to qualified families to give them that “hand up” that will start the family into home ownership. 400 hours of “sweat equity” is required of the family, as they build their home along with many local volunteer citizens and companies.
Interested volunteers may visit www.habitatfranklin.org for information and a place to sign up for either construction or non-construction assistance to Habitat. Soon building will start on one or both of two Eastpoint lots donated by the banking community recently.
